In this episode, former Chief Financial Officer of American Skiing Company and LGBTQ community advocate, Cami Richardson, recounts her business career and shares her personal journey on coming out as a transgender woman at 62 years old.
Originally from New York, Cami Richardson was a firefighter before working her way up to become chief financial officer at American Skiing Company and helped take it public. At the time, American Skiing Company was the largest company of its kind. In the late 1990s, she also helped the business acquire part of the Park City ski resort where she works today. It wasn’t until she was 62 that Cami Richardson came out as a transgender woman. Since then, she has made it her mission to be an advocate for the LGBTQ community and ensure people have positive interactions with her, a transgender person, and learn from her experience.
City must manage growth
For 21 years I have been a full-time resident of Park City and my concern for its viability grows. As we endure another power outage in Park Meadows of over 16 hours, I ponder the impact of all the proposed development in Park City proper. Between the PCMR parking lot project, Deer Valley village development, the arts district proposal and the school district’s long-range expansion within Park City limits, I fear we soon may look like midtown Manhattan.
It is time for someone in the city government to stand up and STOP all of this unsustainable growth. Where will we get the water, sewage treatment, police, fire, city services, broadband capacity and green power? How will we stop the gridlock that will result from all this expansion? Park City residents are already indebted for over $400 million!
